Last months Adoptions & Newbies
The month of December has been amazing for adoptions.  Though most rescues will choose not adopt out animals in December, we choose to.  This is because we have never had a December adoption result in a returned rescue animal.  For this reason, we see no need to shut down during the Christmas season.  We do however encourage the public to make the decision to adopt as a family and not surprise anyone with a pet.  The person who signs the adoption contract is the legal owner and is the one claiming responsability for the pet.
December’s adoptions are as follows:
Bruno - male fox terrier cross dog
Josie - female grey/white DSH kitten
Tiny - male Siamese cat
Reine - female DLH calico kitten
Jackie - female grey DMH kitten
G. Wilikers - male black DSH kitten
Jackson - male Husky/Black Lab
Rascal - male senior Cocker Spanial/Poodle
Twiggy - female Staffordshire Bull Terrier
December’s newbies are as follows:
Jax - male lab cross older pup
Twiggy - female Staffordshire Bull Terrier
